Bob Barker Donates $2.5 million to PETA?!?!

[KCK]

I am blown away by this! They are getting more money!! Sorry, been a long week and found this, so decided to rant. Thanks for bearing with me ;D


"Price Is Right Legend Bob Barker Gives PETA His Name, Cash"

KNBC Former "Price is Right" host Bob Barker is lending his name, and a considerable amount of his cash, to the construction of a new Los Angeles home for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Barker and a bevy of game show caliber beauties joined PETA President Ingrid Newkirk Wednesday for a groundbreaking at what will become the new PETA office on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park.

The 86 year old daytime TV legend donated $2.5 million to make the project happen. It's no coincidence that the office will be named The Bob Barker Building.

Barker was a longtime advocate for spaying and neutering, as well as other animal rights issues, during his Price is Right tenure.

Critics say PETA sometimes go over the line with its inflammatory stands on animal issues. But Barker says he believes it is one of the strongest organizations he knows for advancing his favorite social cause, animal rights.

He is also the biggest sposor of that group with boats that gives whalers trouble.  They were kicked out of Greenpeace for being too violent.  Check out the series Whale Wars.

Oka:y .... stop drinking Yellow Tail wine, and burn your North Face clothing, dont go to anymore Carrie Underwood concerts....ANY THING ELSE

 

[knabe]

.ANY THING ELSE

yeah.  everyone vote their current representatives in congress out and quit waiting for the other guy to do it.

vote IN representatives who will sell federal land, remove wild horses from federal land, end subsidies to everyone, streamline the tax code to free up millions of people to do something productive. 

we are tired of people trying to regulate literally everything.  elected officials who have time to outlaw salt in cooking and anti-swear weeks should have absolutely no business representing anyone and should take it upon themselves to restrain themselves and stop wasting eveyone's time with that.

As Bob would say please Say or neuter your pets....hmmmmmmmm maybe that should be done to that old fart <beer>

from what has been in the news in the past.... it wasnt from a lack of effort!

as I have said before, Peta could get $100,000,000 and it would make no difference...mcdonalds is much bigger and in this country that has killed over 1.3 million Iraqis they are not going to stop eating beef.  will never happen.

Did everyone know that peta has killed more animals than michael vick. I hate vick, but it is still very ironic! Two employees of peta were convicted of animal abuse.

Also the hsus spends only $1 per $200 on actually helping animals. NONE of their money goes to local animal shelters from what I can find.

Barker donates 2.5 mil to PETA for animals (where there really is no benefit to the animals) instead of donating it for the starving children in our country...I could probaly think of a hundred different ways to better donate that kind of money.

That's why we should burn his "I'm from the Ozarks" card! Brad Pitt is also on the Hillbilly Watch List, as well.
